This is the response that I received from Eric Rescorla in response to an e-mail about Rserpool and secure multicast.  Note that in http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-rserpool-enrp-03.txt that multicast or unicast can be used for ENRP messages.

This was discussed in an earlier Rserpool mailing list thread.

> Is Secure Multicast WG the right WG to investigate?
Probably. They're primarily concerned with the problem of group key
exchange. IPsec is assumed to happen as usual. But, I assume you
have the usual key management problems.

> Do you agree with my comments on TLS and multicast?
Yes. TLS can only be used point-to-point.
